LA JOLLA, Calif- The Sonoma State women's soccer team was shut out for the second time this year as Cal State Dominguez Hills emerged with their second victory over the Seawolves in as many tries, 2-0, in a semi-final match at the CCAA women's soccer Championships Friday night at Triton Soccer Field. The loss drops Sonoma to 15-5-1, while the Toros improve to 13-8-0.

After going over 40 minutes without a goal, Cal State Dominguez Hills broke the scoreless tie with under three minutes left in the first half. Melissa Livergood centered a pass from the right side, and Kelly Matosian gathered the ball and chipped it over the keeper's head for her third goal of the year.

Minutes before that, Sonoma State missed on their best opportunity to score all night. Kiley Brown received a long outlet pass and accelerated down the field past two Toro defenders, but she was unable to capitalize, because keeper Alyssa Congdon sprinted out of the box causing her shot to sail wide left of the post.

The Toros out-shot the Seawolves 11-4 in the first half, and 18-8 for the game.

Cal State Dominguez Hills tacked on an insurance goal early in the second half when Danielle Shoemake was able to slide past the Seawolf defense and receive a pass from Yvonne Vasquez.  She then blasted the ball into the upper left corner from five yards out.

Goalkeeper Courtney Grixti tied a season-high for saves in a contest with five tonight.

The Seawolves' fate is now in the hands of the NCAA West Regional committee.   SSU was ranked sixth in the region coming into Friday's contest.  The top six teams in the final regional poll will be selected to compete in next week's regional tournament.

This is the second time in three years Sonoma has been bounced from the semi-final round of the CCAA soccer Championships. In 2006, the Seawolves lost to Chico State, 1-0.
